AC & Heating Service in Tacoma, WA

Tacoma weather swings from damp, cold winters to warm, dry summers, and a working climate control system matters in both. Andy's Auto Services recharges and repairs automotive air conditioning, finds and fixes refrigerant leaks, and services heater cores and blend doors so your cabin heats and cools as it should. We service both R-134a and newer R-1234yf systems to manufacturer spec.

What to Expect During Your Project

1
Performance & pressure test
We measure vent temperatures, system pressures, and airflow to confirm whether the problem is refrigerant charge, a compressor, a blend door, or the blower motor.
2
Leak detection
Using electronic leak detectors and UV dye, we locate the failing component so we recharge once and fix it for good rather than repeatedly topping off.
3
Recharge & repair
We repair or replace the failed part, evacuate the system, and recharge with the correct refrigerant and oil to factory specification.
4
Performance retest
We verify vent temperatures and airflow so you get cold air on hot days and fast defrost on cold, damp Tacoma mornings.

AC & Heating FAQs

Why did my car AC stop blowing cold?

The most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a failing compressor, a clogged expansion valve, or an electrical fault. Simply recharging without finding the leak means it'll fail again. We detect the leak first, repair it, then recharge so the fix lasts.

How often does car AC need to be recharged?

A healthy AC system doesn't need regular recharging — refrigerant doesn't get 'used up.' If your AC is low, there's a leak. Most vehicles benefit from an AC performance check each spring before the heat arrives, so we catch small leaks before they become hot-summer breakdowns.

My defrost isn't clearing the windshield — is that the heater?

It could be the heater core, the blend door, or the AC's dehumidifying function (which runs in defrost mode even in winter to pull moisture out). We diagnose which it is so you get clear, safe visibility on Tacoma's wet mornings.
